Today I am posting about some VERY EXCITING news that I was told about last week and for which I received confirmation on Monday.
Having entered the SCBWI Undiscovered Voices Competition back in June, I was very surprised and elated to be told that I am to feature in the Undiscovered Voices anthology to be published in February 2010.
I am really honoured to have been selected, as I've been trying to get my fiction published long enough to know how difficult it is to achieve. The introduction for the anthology will be written by none other than Melvin Burgess and the book will be sent to US and UK agents and editors, which is absolutely brilliant. The last SCBWI anthology published in 2008 resulted in a number of writers being taken on by agents so I am hopeful that this may lead to some success for me - in fiction.
I am going out tonight and I fully intend to celebrate this new opening in my life, before getting back to the writing tomorrow.
